One thing to note is that the email was voluntarily blocked by the recipient's server. The people receiving the email setup SpamCop's block list on their server. SpamCop didn't directly block the email from O365. If SpamCop were to remove the entry from the block list, the recipient would then add their own that bypasses the Spamcop block list.

anyone8, as per Lking mentioned some of these domains are flaky. What I do is to keep the tracking URL and then go back to it a few minutes later to see if SpamCop would pick up the IP. Sometimes waiting and refreshing works for flaky domains.

One possible alternate to the SpamCop blocking list could be SpamAssassin. You can tie weights to SpamCop such that it would take more than one Blocking list to block spam. You can also whitelist email addresses or make rules that override the SpamCop blocking list. if certain keywords show up in that email.

Are you using a shared IP? https://www.spamcop.net/w3m?action=checkblock&ip=40.107.94.90 Looking at the blocking list entry, it looks like someone maybe reporting emails as spam to SpamCop. Some things to note, you might want to check that your email list is using double opt-in or else anyone can add an email address. You might also need to check routers and cameras have not been hacked.

You know you are irritating a spammer if they are trying to retaliate. The only real way to make a spammer think your account is dead is to reject the email at the border server. You might be able to accomplish this by "blocking" the user and sending it to the spam folder, but most of the spammers will just try a different address to get past your filters. Since Gmail and Microsoft don't let me control the border server, I setup my own email server and use SpamAssassin to filter out the spammers. A few fine tuned rules and it blocks the spammer. In watching the rejections, I noticed that some spammers retry more often when it rejects.

RCVD_IN_BL_SPAMCOP_NET - How to fix?
gnarlymarley replied to Foggy's topic in SpamCop Blocklist Help
A few notes to add to Lking;s post. You might want to check that your IP cameras and routers are secure. You might also be sharing an IP with someone who is sending email that is causing it to show up on multiple blocking lists. -
You do have to click each link in the mail for every spam. I believe SpamCop did this so that you would double check that the message is actually spam (because we don't want to accidentally report good messages). Now if the email address was never used for legitimate email, then I believe you might be able to work out using the quick.xxxx8888xxxx8888xxxx@spam.spamcop.net address. (I believe you might have to work with the deputies to have this turned on.)

Wow, they finally got blocked. One thing to note is that Microsoft was warned numerous times before their inaction allowed the IP to show up on the blocklist. I have been getting abuse from their IP with a few messages a day from a .shop address trying to immitate some paypal links.

Could it be an issue with the HTML formatting? I see the first link doesn't have the closing tag. The third link has the tag formatted wrong. The second link has a IMG in the middle. Also, the content boundaries seem a little strange.

Tried to report spam/account got blocked for spamming
gnarlymarley replied to Scott_R's topic in SpamCop Lounge
I setup my own mail server for this reason years ago. I try to avoid forwarding as an attachment directly through one of the "free email accounts" because they seem to flag them quicker if they are an attachment heading to a spamcop submit address.
